THE Peugeot 207 has been launched in
The sporty little convertible is particularly popular with young women drivers.

Peugeot claims that the 207 will offer “an intense driving experience” and believes demand for the unique, small car will grow to satisfy the need for more than one car per household to cater for the independent activities of different family members.
The purchase of a small car has now become a genuine choice, it appears, and the wider range of cars available and the varied body styles reflects these changes.
Designed in-house by the Peugeot Style Centre, the 207 has an expressive and powerful shape that creates a sense of movement.
The design of the front of the vehicle mirrors the French car-maker’s new visual identity with a single air intake framed by large sleek high-tech headlights.
The large front panel in front of the short bonnet is available in two different styles, and can be combined with two styles of front fog lights, creating two individual looks: ‘Classic’ and ‘Sport’.
The Classic styling with its softer lines creates an elegant appearance, with the lower front panel accommodating the integral front fog lights.
The more dynamic appearance of the Sport styling is combined with circular fog lights mounted in chrome surrounds.
The 207s dynamic triangular profile has a very low waistline, sculpted wheel arches and flag-type door mirrors with direction indicators built into their base, leaving the large wheels to accentuate the car’s overall elegance.
The design of the rear with its delicate curves and rear lights which have a stylish diode-effect creates an expression of size and strength.
Helping to tell the styles apart, the rear exhaust pipe is shielded by the rear bumper skirt on the Classic versions, and is visible and chrome-plated on the Sport versions.
All 207s are equipped with two 3-point Isofix mountings on the rear outer seats, each of which can accommodate a child’s Isofix car safety seat.
The seat belts of the passenger seats are, however, long enough to accommodate a traditional child seat, both at the front and in all three rear seats.
Particular attention has been paid to the key Peugeot values of road holding and driving pleasure, to create a vehicle the company believes will become the reference in the segment, both in terms of driving dynamics and its uncompromising active and passive safety.
The widening of the front and rear tracks allows the rigidity of the body to provide greater stability in many different dynamic situations.
The McPherson type front suspension has been redesigned to increase the caster angle and improve the steering action and accuracy.
Braking has been refined in terms of stopping distance, durability and brake pedal feel.
In this respect, all 207s have large brake calipers at the front matched with ventilated discs with a diameter ranging from 266 to 283 mm.
In addition, all 207s are equipped with an ABS system that prevents wheel lock up, as well as electronic brake force distribution (EBFD), which allows the full braking potential to be used by delivering the maximum possible braking force to each wheel.
Emergency braking assistance (EBA) and automatic illumination of hazard warning lights in the event of sharp deceleration are additional standard features.
The 207 will be available with a range of six engine options.
An original feature offered by the 207 is the fragrance diffuser, available over much of the range.
It scents the passenger compartment according to a patented process.
The range of 14 exterior colours accentuates both the dynamic character and refined elegance of the 207, or more traditional colours add a touch of discretion.
Solid colours: Bianca White, Indigo Blue, Flamenco Red
Metallic colours: Aluminium, Ash Grey, Slate Grey, Neysha Blue, Lacerta Yellow, Salamander Orange and Diablo Red
Prices start from BD5,000.
